A/N: So, school is done for the year and I am currently free to do what I please for the summer until I get a job…so that means more updates. I am currently working on the stories that I had all of you vote on. I don't really have any chapters written yet, but I have been planning so that's a step up.

There are only 3 chapters left of this story…or part of this story, I haven't made up my mind on that yet, but I'll let you know by the end of the three chapters.

Currently working on another Mother's Day one-shot for OTH and I'll hopefully be done with that in the next few days.

So sorry for the long update, but I have continuously noticed that all the chapters I write are mostly dialogue and I am trying to fix that by putting in more narration or thoughts as some would say. Let me know if you can tell the difference and whether or not you like it.

Part 2 Ch. 28: Four Months Later

Kelsey continues to tap her pencil on the desk. Evan was currently on a case with his temporary partner until Kelsey was approved to go back into the field. Kelsey looked at the clock and knew that it was only noon. She still had half her shift left and she was already tired.

For the last four months, she had been assigned desk duty after being shot in the shoulder. She had her last round of physical therapy last week. Kelsey had been happy about that and so had Sam.

Yesterday, Kelsey had her psych evaluation and she had passed with flying colors. It didn't mean that her nightmares were going to go away any time soon, but she was mentally fit for duty.

"She looks incredibly bored," Kylie says with a grin.

Kelsey stopped taping her pencil and looked up at Kylie and Meredith. She grinned. Her relationship with them had improved in the last four months mostly because she knew she didn't have to worry about Kylie anymore.

"Well it's the newlyweds making an appearance."

"Hardy har har," Meredith says as she grabs her wife's hand.

She and Kylie had committed themselves to each other the day after Kelsey was shot. Meredith and Kylie had been sitting in the hospital chapel talking about what could've happened when Meredith knew that she didn't want to spend another minute away from the woman sitting next to her. They had hurried out of the hospital, hoped in the car and had gotten married. They would be having their honeymoon sometime in the summer. The destination was still unknown.

"Marriage looks good on you two," Kelsey compliments with a smile.

"I'd look good on you as well," Kylie retorts back as she sits on the edge of Kelsey's desk.

"Yeah, if Sam goes through with it this time."

"She will."

Kelsey looks at Meredith with a hopeful look.

"She loves you, Kelsey and the way she keeps mentioning the wedding especially after what happened. Let's just say she will."

That was the one fear that Kelsey had. It was to be left at the altar, again.

"How did the errand go?" Kelsey asks with a grin.

"He has been dropped off at the new house and waiting for his new owners. My question is how you managed to do all of this, buy a house and get Sam this gift without her knowing. How'd you manage to keep it a secret?"

Kelsey just grins at Kylie. In truth she herself didn't know how she managed to keep this a secret from her fiancée. Sam had been talking about redoing the lease on her apartment and adding Kelsey's name to it and Kelsey had been fine with it until she realized that they were about to be married and then, well hopefully, the children would come next and their one bedroom apartment did not work for a family with children. That had started her house hunting.

"I don't know. Sam's been busy helping her dad with the show. Last night they had their table read and apparently it went well. It's the first day of shooting so she's going to be busy for awhile. Hopefully she won't be too long; I want to show her the new house and her surprise."

Meredith smiles and turns to her wife.

"How come you don't surprise me like that?"

Kylie's mouth drops open and then she pouts.

"It's hard to surprise you," was Kylie's only defense.

"Daniels!"

Meredith, Kylie and Kelsey's eyes wonder to the captain's door. He was leaning against the door jam.

"Sir?" Kelsey says as she stands up.

"Rest up and come fresh to work on Monday. You're off desk duty."

Kelsey grins and gathers her stuff quickly. She needed to visit her wife.

*Defying Gravity*

"How'd it look?" Julian asks as he turns to his daughter who was standing next to him with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Something's off," Sam says with a sigh. "I don't know what it is, but the scene isn't reading right."

"Guys, why don't you all take five?" Julian suggests.

The cast and crew take the break they have been waiting for all day. Julian just looks at his daughter.

"You gotta tell me what's on your mind."

Sam closes her eyes and sighs. The scene they had just shot was the day that Sam had first met Kelsey. It had been freshmen year of high school in the girls' locker room a few minutes before try outs. They had both been late and were both rushing to get changed…

"I figured it out," Sam says with a smile. "Get everybody back. I need to speak with Andrea and Lacey."

When casting was done for Defying Gravity, both Julian and Sam agreed that they really wanted newcomers to star in the show.

Andrea Swelter, a 23 year old recent graduate of NYU had won the role of Kelsey Daniels.

Lacy Weatherly, a 22 year old and Tree Hill resident had won the role of Samantha Baker.

The moment that Sam had seen those two read together was the moment when Sam knew that they needed to cast those two. Their chemistry together was a lot like Sam and Kelsey's so it was a perfect fit.

"Lacey, to make the scene better I need you to pause and just kind of admire the tattoos on Andrea's shoulder."

"Andrea, I need you to play off on that. Add lib if you have to, but you need to make it believable. This is the first meeting between you two. It needs to appear like there could be a connection between you two."

Lacey nods her head.

"I'll see what I can do."

Lacy and Andrea stand on their marks while Sam takes a seat next to her father.

"Rolling in three, two, one, action!"

Sam opens the gym locker as she hears the doors to the locker room swing open. A girl comes running around the corner slightly out of breath.

"Do you know if the basketball tryouts started yet?"

Sam looks over at the girl and shakes her head.

"No, I don't, but I feel like I'm running late so probably."

Kelsey grins and shrugs out of her shirt. She turns to her gym bag and opens it while Sam stays frozen in her spot. Sam stayed rooted where she was, admiring the artwork on the other girls shoulder.

Knowing she was being watched, Kelsey turned and smirked at Sam.

"Like what you see?"

Sam snaps out of it and blushes turning to her locker and letting out a breath. Kelsey grins wider and pulls on her gym shirt over her head.

"There's no harm in looking. I know I'm hot. The name is Kelsey, what's yours?"

Sam awkwardly coughs.

"Sam."

Kelsey smirks knowing that Sam was still flustered.

"I'll see you around Sam."

Kelsey shoves her bag in an empty locker and jogs out of the locker room. Sam falls to the bench and sighs.

"What is going on with me?"

"Cut!"

Sam just smiles. The new direction helped. Sam turns to her dad and nods her head.

"Alright guys let's print that and since it was the final scene for Lacey and Andrea today it means you are free to do whatever until tomorrow."

Julian watches as Sam, Lacey and Andrea prepare to leave for the day. He had been excited to start shooting because it gave Sam the time to stop worrying so much about Kelsey. Ever since the shooting he could tell that his daughter had changed slightly. He could tell that she hadn't been sleeping much, but knew that since Kelsey was okay than eventually his daughter would be okay as well. He saw a lot of her at the house as she and Brooke prepared for the wedding. And today he finally saw a piece of the old Samantha Baker and he was happy.

*Defying Gravity*

"Where exactly are you taking me?"

Kelsey grins as she continues to drive the car. She had just got done surprising Sam on the set and told her that she had a surprise for her and that they needed to leave.

"Fine ignore me, but I don't see why I have to wear this stupid blindfold."

Kelsey parks her car on the street next to Sam's surprise.

"So we have arrived, but you need to stay still and don't remove the blindfold. I'm going to let you out of the car in just a sec."

Sam sighs and rests her head against the seat. She could hear Kelsey getting out of the car and she could hear the door on her side being opened. She felt Kelsey grab her hand and pull her gently out of the car.

"Remove the blindfold," Kelsey whispers in her ear.

Sam removes the blindfold and gasps at what she sees. She was currently standing in the yard in front of a beautiful one story home with a sold sign in the front of it.

"Kelsey, what is this?"

Kelsey grabs Sam's hand and smiles.

"Our new home; Come on, I'll show you."

Kelsey and Sam step into the house and Kelsey starts explaining the house as they move to different rooms.

"So this is a brick, low maintance home; three bedrooms and three full baths. We currently have ten foot ceilings and an upgraded gourmet kitchen featuring Dacor stainless appliances and a five burner gas stove. Oh and get this we have a two sided gas fireplace that separates the great room and the dining room."

Sam smiles as she takes in what is her new home. Excitement fills her at the future she and Kelsey will have in this home.

Kelsey leads Sam out in the back yard.

"And we also have a fence surrounding the backyard."

"Why do we need a fence?" Sam asks before laying her eyes on her two friends who were currently playing catch with a dog.

"For our dog."

Sam squealed and grabbed at her fiancée's arm.

"You got us a dog."

The next thing that Sam knew there was a black Labrador retriever puppy sitting in front of her wagging his tail. Sam kneels down to pet him as Meredith and Kylie come walking over.

"So, what do you think?" Kylie asks.

"I love it," Sam says with a grin as she pets the puppy sitting in front of her. "He seems to already be trained."

Kelsey nods her head.

"Yeah, his previous owners were moving out of state and they needed to find a new home for him. I figured it save us a step from having to train him," Kelsey sits down next to her wife. "What do you think baby? Do you like the house? Do you like our puppy?"

Sam gives Kelsey a teary eyed smile.

"I love everything. I can't believe you kept this from me," she turns to her friends. "I can't believe you didn't tell me either."

"We were sworn to secrecy, but since you are here it's time for us to leave, but call me later," Kylie says with a smile as she grabs her wife's hand. Meredith says her goodbyes and follows Kylie out to their car.

Sam looks back down at the puppy with a smile.

"What's his name?"

"He doesn't have one. His owners had just got him and then a job offer came up and they just didn't have time, but I figured you could name him."

"Shadow," Sam says with a smile. "That's what we were going to call our dog. Reese and Sara for our kids."

"I remember," Kelsey says with a grin. Kelsey leans over and starts petting Shadow. Sam grins and starts talking.

"I want to get married."

Kelsey grins and continues to pet Shadow.

"We are getting married."

"No, I mean sooner."

Kelsey looks up at Sam.

"How much sooner?"

Sam bites the bottom of her lip.

"The end of the month."

"That's in two weeks," Kelsey whispers. She sees Sam nodding her head. "Are you sure? I mean is this what you really want because if it is then I think we should do it, but like I said before if you're not ready then we shouldn't rush it."

"I'm ready," Sam whispers. "I'm ready to stand in front of you in an incredible wedding dress and looks at you and say my vows and I can't wait until I can kiss you and call you my wife. I wasn't ready back then, Kelsey, I'm ready now. Hell, I was ready four months ago, but you were injured so I'm ready now and I don't want to wait anymore. We're getting married."

Kelsey grins and stands up from the ground. She holds out her hand to her soon to be wife.

"Two weeks and I can call you my wife. We have some planning to do."

Sam grabs Kelsey's hands and pecks her on the lips.

"We've got some planning to do."
